Radio Goes Social

Radio Mega-Group owner Clear Channel recently announced that it's releasing an iPad version of its fairly popular iHeartRadio app (joining versions for iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry and Android).  The app not only allows users to stream audio from 750 Clear Channel radio stations, but also to station Twitter feeds and information on upcoming songs.  The new version aims to take advantage of the iPad's larger screen to add social media features (sharing stations and a variety of audio and video content).
Last August, Clear Channel had reported that more than 10 million of the apps had been downloaded, and that 15% of all terrestrial radio listening.
